Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 is a high-level block diagram illustrating one embodiment of a system 100 for performing image rectification using a single image and information identified from the single image. The illustrated system 100 may have client devices 115a . . . 115n that can be accessed by users and a recognition server 101. In FIG. 1 and the remaining figures, a letter after a reference number, e.g., “115a,” represents a reference to the element having that particular reference number. A reference number in the text without a following letter, e.g., “115,” represents a general reference to instances of the element bearing that reference number. In the illustrated embodiment, these entities of the system 100 are communicatively coupled via a network 105.

[0028]The network 105 can be a conventional type, wired or wireless, and may have numerous different configurations including a star configuration, token ring configuration or other configurations. Furthermore, the network 105 may include a...

Abstract

The disclosure includes a system and method for performing image rectification using a single image and information identified from the single image. An image recognition application receives an input image, identifies a plurality of objects in the input image, estimates rectification parameters for the plurality of objects, identifies a plurality of candidate rectification parameters using a voting procedure on the rectification parameters for the plurality of objects, estimates final rectification parameters based on the plurality of candidate rectification parameters, computes a global transformation matrix using the final rectification parameters, and performs image rectification on the input image using the global transformation matrix.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The specification generally relates to image processing. In particular, the specification relates to a system and method for performing image rectification using a single image and information identified from the single image.[0003]2. Description of the Background Art[0004]Image rectification is a process of undoing perspective distortion in an image. This technique is a key component in a variety of applications such as aerial imaging, geographic information systems, 3D reconstruction, and depth from stereo images, etc. Many image rectification algorithms use two or more input images and perform a computationally expensive search to determine the rectifying transformation. Other image rectification algorithms may use a single input image to reduce the search space when determining the rectifying transformation, however, these algorithms require restrictions on the input image, for example, the content of the input image should be symme...
